Tutankharmon - 400HPS - Soil Coco Mix - Grow

[alex801]

Don Paul does no his stuff.... I'd look into that

But as for will she hermie.... I had a 24 plant S.O.G they were in 12/12 flower cycle from seed. Nill veg time
2 were hermie/male and 22 were full female with no ill affects off the lights. It's not as uncommon as ud think.

 

[Light Addict]

The life of my little git!

She is now without the foil for less heat. No fan on her at all, never had one on her. As you can see she went weird from the beginning.
Any thoughts welcome!

 

[Spimp]

Heres some very simple advice---

When rolled into a joint, who cares what she looked like while growing?

Good Weed sir.

 

[waknbak88]

looks like she has worked out the kinks, maybe it will grow to be something crazy!

 

[ShrubHub]

You gonna grow that into a Y shape and keep pulling the shoots apart? Looks clever sir.

A most glorious morning to all, well it mornin where I am lol. May the day present herself in all her glory, may the suns rays basque upon you and your plants. May a gentle warming breeze caress your plants lovingly. May you also get catatonically stoned!

Just some pics before lights out.

 

[AfricanGrower]

Damn, She is really getting big there Light. And a good morning to you to

I'm really excited for the mainlining you are going to attempt on that little one. I'm all eyes and ears (eyes and keyboard ) for this one. Good Luck man!

 

[donpaul.p]

you certainly going to get the best from that plant, a nice canopy like that will produce very well, you will have lots of nice buds instead of one main bud then lots of smaller buds, when i cut my numbers down this is the method ill go with or the v scrog method, i think its the best use of space, no wasted light and no small pop corn buds,

Hey to all today just thought I'd post something up for the UK growers.
Home » Prosecution Policy and Guidance » Legal Guidance » S to U » Sentencing manual » Culitvation or production of cannabis
Cultivation or Production of Cannabis

Date Produced: 14 February 2012
Title: Drugs
Offence: Cultivation or Production of Cannabis
Legislation: Section 6 (2) Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 for cultivation, Section 4 (2) Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 for production
Mode of Trial: Either Way
Statutory Limitations & Maximum Penalty: 14 years

The definitive drugs guideline comes into place on 27 February 2012 and applies to all drug offences sentenced after that date.

The new guideline may cause an upward shift in the length of sentence for offenders being sentenced for Class B production/cultivation.
The route to sentence:-
Step 1

determine the offender's role; then the category of the offence.
The offenders role
Leading role

Directing or organising production on a commercial scale;
Substantial links to, and influence on, others in a chain;
Expectation of substantial financial gain;
Uses business as cover;
Abuses a position of trust or responsibility.

Significant role

Operation or management function within a chain;
Involves others in the operation whether by pressure, influence, intimidation or reward;
Motivated by financial or other advantage, whether or not operating alone;
Some awareness and understanding of scale of operation.

Lesser role

Performs a limited function under direction;
Engaged by pressure, coercion, intimidation;
Involvement through naivety/exploitation;
No influence on those above in a chain;
Very little, if any, awareness or understanding of the scale of operation;
If own operation, solely for own use (considering reasonableness of account in all the circumstances).

The category of harm is determined by the output/potential output of the operation.
Category 1

an operation capable of producing industrial quantities for commercial use. E.g. a factory, farming size greenhouses or houses dedicated to the growing of cannabis. Look for 'gardeners exploited and trapped in the set up, and networked operation cultivating cannabis over various sites'.
Category 2

an operation capable of producing significant quantities for commercial use. It is easy to identify the smaller operations that fall into category 2; they will be a room or loft dedicated to the growing and drying of cannabis; more 'cottage industry' than 'factory.' What is not so easy is to distinguish top end category 2 from a category 1 case; the only difference between the 2 categories is category 1 is defined as the production of 'industrial' quantities as opposed to 'significant' quantities in category 2.
Category 3

28 plants with an assumed yield of 40g per plant.
Category 4

9 plant domestic operation.

It is worth noting that the guideline assumes a yield of 40g a plant. Up to now a plants yield has often been in issue; it may be that the guideline assumption of 40g a plant will become the standard projection in calculating a plants yield.

Category 1, 2 and 3 cases are likely to share some of the following features:-

sophisticated growing system
measures taken to conceal the operation;
plants well tended;
abstraction of electricity or electricity supplied by a generator;
look for discarded plant debris (significant amount of rotting stalks/vegetation indicates that there has been earlier growing cycles).

With bottom end category 2 growers and category 3 growers the question arises of what use is to be made of the cannabis. In mitigation the defence may provide a basis of plea which suggest that the offender is supplying to friends; the phrase 'social supply' is often used. Beware of the phrase 'social supply' (see R v. Auton, Hindle, Vincent and Willis [2011] EWCA Crim. 76) supply to friends is unlikely to be free, and supply makes the offence more serious; producers of cannabis are popular and have a lot of close friends when it comes to 'social supply.'
Step 2

sentencing range
Category 1
Leading role

Starting Point: 8 years
Category Range: 7-10
Significant role

Starting Point: 5 years 6 months
Category Range: 5-7
Lesser role

Starting Point: 3 years
Category Range: 2 years 6 months-5 years
Category 2
Leading role

Starting Point: 6 years
Category Range: 4yrs 6mnths-8 yrs
Significant role

Starting Point: 4 years
Category Range: 2 yrs 6 mnths-5yrs
Lesser role

Starting Point: 1 year
Category Range: 26 weeks-3 years
Category 3
Leading role

Starting Point: 4 years
Category Range: 2 years 6 months-5 years
Significant role

Starting Point: 1 year
Category Range: 26 weeks-3 years
Lesser role

Starting Point: High level community order
Category Range: low level community order to 26 weeks
Category 4
Leading role

Starting Point: 1 year
Category Range: High level community order-3 years
Significant role

Starting Point: High level community order
Category Range: Medium level community order-26 weeks
Lesser role

Starting Point: Band C fine
Category Range: Discharge- Medium level community order

The sentencing starting point is adjusted up or down by a list of additional aggravating and mitigating factors set out in the guideline. Described as a non exhaustive list it may on occasion be appropriate to move outside the identified category range.

Aggravating Features

Previous convictions
Offence committed on bail
Nature of any likely supply
Use of premises accompanied by unlawful abstraction of electricity/other utilities
Ongoing/large scale operation as evidenced by presence and nature of specialist equipment
Exposure of others to more than unusual danger, for example drugs cut with harmful substances
Attempts to conceal or dispose of evidence, where not charged separately
Presence of others, especially children
Presence of weapons where not charged separately
High purity or high potential yield
Failure to comply with current court orders
Offence committed on licence
Established evidence of community impact

Mitigating Features

Involvement due to pressure, intimidation or coercion failing short of duress, except where already taken into account in step 1
Isolated incident
Low purity
No previous convictions or no relevant or recent convictions
Offender's vulnerability was exploited
Remorse
Good character and or exemplary conduct
Determination and/or demonstration of steps having been taken to address addiction or offending behaviour
Serious medical conditions requiring urgent, intensive or long term treatment
Age and/or lack of maturity where it affects the responsibility of the offender
Mental disorder or learning disability
Sole or primary carer of dependent relatives

Just wanted to let people know that 9 is your magic number in the UK it seems. obviously your yield is a factor also. The other thing I realized is that as my missus smokes also, she has to hold her hands up to being part of the operation. If I simply said its just me, then they found out my missus smokes also, then that means I'd be supplying her! bigger sentence! Split between us a little op of 9 plants or under would simply mean arrest destruction of all growing equipment and then release with at most a community order.

 

[Light Addict]

Oh and many thanks for that compliment Donpaul, if your thinking of following in my style of growing I must have got something right lol. I put up the above info for you as you did say you were dropping numbers soon. Well worth it my friend, as to me it just makes more sense to have a few girls producing massively than loads on a big regular turn around.

 

[alex801]

Good post bc1..... All the catagories make it hard to understand how much risk one is taking. U here ppl ranting "if u grow less than ten ur safe" etc etc. which is shit because there's so many variables. Ur plant for instance is extremely well tended to. Mine also not quite as much. But still looked after. I don't have any previous. I wonder what the consequences for me would be. 3 plant Scrog. In soil.

 

[Light Addict]

Honestly my friend they want the big boys! My friend just came out from Parkhurst. his appeal got him off an 8 year stretch. He was the top dog and landlord on a 3 story house that was totally done into a factory 300 plants. Stolen electric etc. He gave me loads of paper work from his lawyer etc and as far as I see it. We would get community service orders only for our size set ups.

 

[alex801]

Yea I think c.o would be the most likely. But knowing my luck it would be the day the judge made an example lol.
Lucky boy ur mate

 

[Lady Cannafan]

Cheers my friends, I'm kind of stuffed on the Idea of sticking her in with my big Girt, as there aint no room at all for her pot in my little space. I could maybe repot into a much smaller tub, but girt is gonna take all my room in there. As for heat and over feeding or watering, She got sprouted in some blank potting soil. She has had one little watering since she sprouted with PH'd water no feed. The heat shouldn't be an issue as she's in a big ass closet and only has 3 small cfls.
So I'm thinking it's simply the genetics. I've pulled all her leaves off apart from the ones at end of each branch ant tied her only 2 limbs down. I'm gonna mainline her and flower straight off under my CFLs.
Is there likely to be any problems sticking her straight into flower so young, will she hermie! If its ok to do so i'll just bang her through and get set up for my WW run.

You read my mind LA, I'm putting my mutant into flower timing too. Just to see what happens. I didn't strip mine like you did though, so it will be interesting to see the differences. You gonna take some pics of the lil' chit along the way?

 

[SWvoodoo]

did that mutant just throw two branches from the start? I couldn't see any original topping before it threw two tips? looks like it couldn't decide what its new growth was meant to be. Im leaning toward "genetically f@#ked up" after seeing those pics.

 

[Richard Richardson]

Yea I think c.o would be the most likely. But knowing my luck it would be the day the judge made an example lol.
Lucky boy ur mate

I think even with your luck alex, if you play "billy no-mates" and complain about your gout, etc,

You wouldn't even get a CO for your 3 plants. You would lose your lighting and set-up, but not your "freedom".

The more medical info you present, the quicker they will want to get rid of you...in a good way

 

[Light Addict]

Hey Canna, yep i'll keep up posting pics of my little git just for the experience!

Yeah Voodoo she just went both ways instead of up. so Genetics! On the up side she is a natural candidate for mainlining as she did the hard work herself lol.

ONE BIG AMENDMENT FOR ANYONE IN THE UK; the use of Co2 in a grow will bump you up the legal ladder. Even home made generators like the one I use will land you in more bother than if you just had plants.

 

[Richard Richardson]

Little git is a freak, LA.

Nice mainlining. I was reaing about that yesterday

 

[alex801]

Thanks RICO. Hopefully i will never be in that position but it is reassuring to no I'm on the right side of the bad side of the law lol
